    Chasing Shadows Series I and II Diptych
    by Ronald T. Crawford Painter
    Salt Spring Island artist Ron Crawford creates art with a unique combination of plaster and acrylic paint, resulting in a modern variation on the frescoes. The surfaces are carved, shaped, sanded and painted until they take on a rich, naturally eroded appearance.

    "All of the work in the Chasing Shadows series is playing with capturing a place, a moment, an object which is created through the process of painting itself. Created in pairs each work is a mirror of its sister. Shown here as a diptych" - Ron Crawford

      Painter Ronald T. Crawford

      Ronald T. Crawford’s paintings reflect both the theoretical and physical aspects of his life. On the one hand he has an extensive fine art education and has been exhibiting his work for over 30 years.

      On the other hand, for the past 25 years he has had extensive experience working on Salt Spring Island with functional and sculptural stonework. His multifaceted paintings are the result of the blending of contemporary painting concerns with the earthy spiritualism of stone.

      Artist Statement

      Ronald T. Crawford is a Canadian painter and sculptor whose art bridges contemporary
      painting with a masters knowledge of stone.He trained at the University of Oklahoma,
      BFA, University of Calgary, Art History, Red Deer College Art and Design Program and
      The Banff Centre under Takao Tanabe.

      Since 1988 he has lived on Salt Spring Island developing a career between functional
      and sculptural stonework that has strongly influenced his unique modern fresco
      paintings.


      The paintings built from plaster, sand, mica and acrylic paint are carved, shaped,
      sanded and repainted until the surface transforms into an object of mystery and a
      marker of geologic time. The textured surfaces catch light and reflect shadows acting as
      a visual ambient landscape. Crawfords work continues to elaborate the the fusion and
      tension of paintings that read as both images and objects,
